Since your pump is dead, and if you feel adventureous, you might want to check out Nissan's electric power steering pump on the 2012 and newer Nissan Altima. The Altima EPS could work and the pump looks easier to install. The reservoir is 90 degree from the body so it would be easier to package.


Did you ever finish?

Update: I'm almost home, I recently installed the electric water pump and depowered the steering rack. Wanted to feel what it was like without power steering so I can give a more accurate accesentment of the electric power steering pump once it goes in. After driving around town without power steering, I think I will add a manual on and off switch/button for the EPSP. I feel you only need the assist during parking situation or three point turn. This will lessen the mileage on the pump since the Toyota EPSP is meant to be running all the time and only idle at high speed and low demand.

Hmmm I may just do the same then if thats the case. This is where engineering our own CAN system would be awesome!

I will also be ordering an upgraded alternator. I feel it's needed to meet the higher electrical demand of the electric power steering and water pump. Driving at night with the electric water pump and lights on, I can already feel the stock alternator is struggling at idle, with the dimming lights and slight engine stumble. So for the EPSP, an upgraded alternator is a good idea. You can get away with the stock alternator, but you have to run a high idle.
